2 Samuel 19:4 Context
2And the victorie that day was turned into mourning vnto all the people: for the people heard say that day, how the king was grieued for his sonne. 3And the people gate them by stealth that day into the citie, as people beeing ashamed steale away when they flee in battell. 4But the king couered his face, and the king cried with a loud voyce, O my sonne Absalom, O Absalom my sonne, my sonne. 5And Ioab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy seruants, which this day haue saued thy life, and the liues of thy sonnes, & of thy daughters, and the liues of thy wiues, and the liues of thy concubines, 6In that thou louest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends; for thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes, nor seruants: for this day I perceiue, that if Absalom had liued, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
